About l o'clock Thursday morning
while the heavy drill was being low
cred into the gas well the brake on the
reel got out of order apd failed to work,
letting the drill fall distance of $50 or
800 feet with velocity which tore
things up generally. The reel was
wrenched from its fastenings, and one
corner or the derrick was badly shat.
tered, pieces of timber being thrown
in every direction, but fortunately no
person was injured. A day or two was
required to repair damages, and when
the drill was again raised 1t was found
that too was broken. The workmen
were fortunate enough to get the drill
out, and the work ia again progressing
satisfactorily.

A ,,mhor of bousss have been bro.

A number of houses have been bro
ken open during the absence OF their
occupants, within the past two weeks,
and on Sunday last, Mr.. David Lind
say discovered Frank Hook in the act
of prying up a window at the residence
of E. P. Brainerd, Esq on East Main
street. Mr.. Lindsay watched the OPP
erations of the young hOusebreaker
for some time, thinking to capture him
when he had gained an entrance. For
some reason the window could not be
raised, and the young thief left the
premises. 1t was afterward learned
that the rear part of the house had al
ready been visited.
Monday evening officer Kennedy
arrested young Hook and placed him
in the cage. A search fthe premises
of Hooks parents unearthed q supply
of stolen jewelry and trinkets sufficient
to stock peddler's kit, and compris-
ing everything from a gold watch to
an advertising card-chains, rings,
pins, ear rings, bracelets, sleeve-but-
tons, knives, pens and pencils, a card
case, a plush covered toilet case. a to
bscco box, box containing pieces of
silk--and an almost endless variety of
trinkets of no value, except perhaps,
as keepsakes. A number of people
have found missing articles in this
collection. Young Hook returned last
spring from the Reform Farm, where
he served term, evidently without
any benefit. His hearing has been set
for today Wednesday,, when it is
hoped he may be sent where he will
be of service to the State, for time,
at least.
Two other boys named Walker and
Baxter, were also arrested on suspicion
of being implicated in some of young
Hooks stealings, they having been in
fis company a great deal of late. No
evidence being found to connect them
with the stealing they were discharged.
Tuesday afte, noon the parents of
young Hook were arrested on the
charge of concealing stolen property,
and while awaiting their hsaiing, are
boarding with Sheriff Sheldon.

Eckert's threshing engine exploded
its boiler, while on the road about two
miles west of town, on Saturday last.
The crown sheet was cracked, letting
the steam into the fire box. which soon
put out the fire. The explosion was
caused by low water. No one injured.
Harness thieves are apparently get
ting In their work in this city. Dur.
ing the past week some unknown
person or persons borrowed" a har-
ness from Mr.. Walters barn, without
the consent of the owner, who would
be pleased to know where it can be
found.
Mrs. w. II. Bostwick has been Wis

During the storm Friday evening
the residence of Mr.. Harry II. Smith,
on West Main street, was struck by
lightning. The rooms were filled with
SCOT. ashes and plastering, and a bu-
reau was badly damaged. The house
also took fire, but the blaze was easily
extinguished. As none of the family
were injured, Harry thinks he had a
very fortunate escape.
Tuesday evening, about 8 o'clock,
Jim Miller, who was to furnish meals
at the reunion of Battery A, at Twin
Lake, started for the grounds, accom-
panied by lady and two boys, who
were to assist him. Jim drove one of
POe's high-spirited livery horses,
which, becoming frightened at train
of cars and one of the lines breaking,
the horse ran inro bank aud threw
the occupants out. The lady received
some slight cuts and bruises, and Jim
was quite severely injured about the

Editor PIcAYUNE:-The people of this county were greatly sur prised by an article in your paper relative to the vote cast by oul representative, on the bill regnla ting railroads and railroad traffic
 Now, Mir. Editor, were you mol mistaken9 Would the gentleman vote that way, after writing anc speaking as he has against mOnop Olies. corporations, and in favor O. the rights of the people, the illega and unjust discriminations, &c' l think you must he joking in yonl paper when you say that be did If you are correct, am very sor' ry, for it will compel great many to think that the representative was using his thunder to get of- flee. Poor old man. l am sorry for him; the first chance he gets to vote upon a question between cor porations and the people. he turns and gives the people the heaviest lick he can; refuses to take the corporations by the throat and tell what he said last summer on the stump and in his paper all the time; let's the interest of the peo- pie go; and stupeties his friends, the people, with wonder and hor- TOT; wonder that such a man as we elected could do such a thing; horror that he has doneit, mingled with the fear that it is not the least if he had a chance. It does look like the people have been de. ceived all along. Even the poor negro hasn't got that money, meat and bread he has so fondly dream ed of since last fall.
 Do, Mir. Editor, let us know the truth about that thing. If he did vote against the people, we will not send any more of his sort there. We will take a fellow that talks the other way, and maybe he will vote contrary to his talk, and benefit the people.
 By the way, when the supply train with the greenbacks come 10 Prescott, please switch three box cars to Bluff City, for We need it it very bad. aud this is ''the Green. back kingdom. SCRUB.
